I was busy most of the day and i really loved it.  I did not report to the Nursing Department today because i had to do the lecture of my boss for a speaking appointment tomorrow afternoon in Ozamis.  I did the powerpoint and the draft on hard copy so that i will have idean on when to turn the next page (that is if he will decide not to bring the laptop on the stage.  Then halfway to the afternoon i got a call from a friend at the accounting office.  She told me that she has been deducted of a tuition fee when she did not pursue enrolling in doctoral studies.  So right away i checked it out.  When it concerns money and money of other people I really want to see the problem and settle it the best as i can.  Now after checking it, i found out that there the amount deducted from her went nowhere.  I tried to recall hard that transaction day in CDO and i tried to find the list in my file but  ican’t find it.  Suddenly my temperature was elevated, got a very bad headache and sort of my pulse raced.  I just can’t remember where it went — after an hour of thinking and looking for clues i decided to have the money be charged to me….I called up my friend crying telling her that i will pay her back the 1000 because i can’t remember where it went but  i beg that i will pay her back on the month of February and March.  AFter she agreed i felt a lil bit better but deep inside i was angry.  I was angry because i can’t remember these important things…

Anyway at almost 6 i met a friend.  I went to Manticao to meet a friend who came for a vacation from Bangkok.  Me, my daughter, my daughter’s teacher, and one of dimple’s classmates tag along.    The moments there were carefree and nice that i forgot the bad moments that happened in a day.  On the way back, i tried to recall the whole day and i can still say that am blessed.  Am blessed with many many things that God knows i need them but since there’s something that i need that has not been yet provided caused me to see these blessings that is infront of me now.

Friends are blessings.  Time spent with friends are priceless and they are real blessings.  Seeing dimple enjoyed the time with her classmate in a different environment made my heart swell too.  Letting me have a bonding wiht my daughter’s teacher made me smile too.  It was a nice feeling.

I will be away for the whole two days beginning tomorrow but i hope to be back online on Saturday evening.   Am taking opportunities to go to different places and be with different people because i need these variations.  i need these to help me cope the heavy burden am carrying deep within.

1. It’s really funny when________________. i watched Mr. Bean’s movies.

2. What’s your story?  I think drama and horror. hahaha

3. How often do you awaken remembering your dream/s?   I think often.

4. Would you have a baby to save a relationship?  Yeah if it’s the partner’s want.

5. Is it acceptable to kill one man in order to save a million?  I think killing is not acceptable but if it’s a  must, then it will happen.  Just like what happened to Jesus .  He was killed and died for us all to have an everlasting life.

6. If someone calls you and asks for your name, do you tell them?  Not right away.  It depends on who is asking.

7. In the past days/weeks, what piece of mail made you the happiest?  I haven’t got a mail yet.

8. Would you want to live forever?  Yeah in heaven.  Not here on earth.

9. Is sitting around doing nothing inconsequential?  I don’t think so.  You may not be doing something physically but you are doing something mentally.

10. What does whispering makes you think of? secret!

Am having fun Yen. sorry am late.

Advance happy trip!

Just an update.  I went to see her after work because she asked me to buy milk for her.  Her stock ran out and she does not go to store to buy so i was the one to do it.  I picked also some cinnamon bread and a liter of soya milk.  It’s been two weeks since the last time i saw her.

This is our first picture together after a long long time. hehehe.  I mean just the two of us.  We have several pictures but with other friends or family.  I sort of miss her.  When she is not at home i miss her but when she is home we often argued.  Pero mahirap na makipag argue sa buntis so i feel a bit blessed she stays this time at her best friend’s home.    She is really getting bigger and bigger and more plump each day.  She is now on her 8th month.  Her edc is March 5 but i know that can be two weeks earlier or two weeks later after March 5.  I really hope for a safe delivery.  Safe for her and the baby.  So far the visits to the doctor always confirm that mother and child are ok.  The baby is in good position blah blah blah.  Oh well, i just hope nothing toxic will happen to her when she is about to pop the baby out.

She still loves to eat though she has been adviced since last month to control her carbohydrates intake.

Here she is. She’s munching on popcorn after dinner ha.  I was also busy eating with her coz my wish baby was fast asleep.  I put him to sleep before going to the table for dinner.  But before she left we also had our moments which i love — the last time i saw my baby prince was in December 26 – so it was 1 month yesterday.

–mah prince & me –

Oh my sis got already a name for her baby prepared.  The baby will be named 2 names — R — Marlou.  I forgot the the full word for the letter R but both names are of her two best friends.  I told her why not add something of V so that she’s included in the names but she said pangit daw name nya so huwag nalang.  I suggested Mark Joaquin for the baby but she said it will be her friends who will decide.

I love the name Josh or Joshua.  So i thought of these names too:

Richard Josh – nickname RJ

Vaughn Joshua – nickname VJ

Ralf Marlou Vaughn – nickname RM

I can just imagine a life without voice.  I mean if my voice will be totally out for forever am sure i would have a hard time accepting it.  But for the deaf, they don’t have their voice since they were born, so they will not have a hard time feeling the difference.  A new company using Voice as the name is very catching.

At Voice Broadcasting they service advertising in in varied industries.   They specializes on auto lead, debt leads, travel leads, Mortgage Leads, outbound and inbound leads and many more.   So if you want an effective voice advertising, you may check out their site.

I posted yesterday a Life Saving Tips for  a Healthy Future in my Health blog.  I then received a comment in my entrycard that meant i might have a typo error.  300% of calories to 30% of calories needed per day as recommended by the American Heart Association.  I checked the article i really have copied the right statement.  So i tried browsing if i can find the recommended daily caloric intake per adult but i just can’t find it.  If anyone of you here knows this pls drop me a line.

By the way, how are you today?  For me?  Not really so good.  I have so many things in my mind — things that just can’t be shared here online.  So it’s like am being dragged to the ground because it’s so heavy.

One of the TV series last night made me really angry inside.  If you watched that new series – Tayong Dalawa or i forgot the exact name basta merong Gerald at Jake Cuenca —- that part where Agot really looked down on poor people — my God that made my blood boil.  I can never imagine people like that literally exist.  That was just too much!  Because she is so filthy rich she feels she has the right to judge the people that are poor.  Bakit ganun? Basta poor they are thought as walang modo, patay gutom, magnanakaw, addict?  And if you are rich — YOU ARE PERFECT!  Really?  Does it mean that it’s a criminal thing to make friends someone who is rich and is very bad if a rich person makes friend with a poor guy?  OH well, salida lang yon.  Walang akong magawa but honestly, the TV show confused my mind and made my spirit down.   That episode made me humm the line of the song “Tubig at Langis” — water and gas can never blend well — ever!  But to me, if you everyone has a Christlike character, we are all the same.  No one is poor.  No is is rich.  Yellow, black, white, brown, orange people — we are all brothers and sister.

Oh yeah am just ranting.

Thanks Sexy Mommy Van!  I giggled when i saw the award. hehehe

I worked all day in the office — sorting files.  I still got a moundful left to be done.  I guess i need two days more for that.  It’s not good to work sitting down as I sort through the papers because of the dust, so i stood all day.  I had the time to sit down for an hour during the lunchbreak.

Am so sleepy now but i need to drop EC for this blog.  Time beat me up last night.

OH another thing, i wish the connection at work will be ok na.
